Probably need to see the plat for that one.

I just collected 14k on a project I was stiffed on. Somewhat similar to yours, I had no problem releasing the survey for the fee.

If they excepted a Right of Way that is an easement, then the ownership of the strip goes to the Grantee. A right was excepted, not the land.

LLCs come to mind, you can hide the ownership fairly effectively. I would use an attorney as the agent and it should make it difficult to figure out t...

@richard-germiller spiral-spiral-curve-spiral: Makes my head hurt just thinking about it. I was so glad to get AutoCAD back about 1985, it had c...

@eapls2708 There is a recent BLM resurvey where a subdivision corner (S1/16th between two section lines) surveyed in the 1970's was rejected and a ...

What size are these parcels, and what units are being used to describe them?

@not-my-real-name Center of the back face? Much like Railroad rail monuments. Locating the center of the upright rail would be incorrect. There...

Many surveyors locally held the old saying that "the king gets his". Meaning if a record of 60 feet is described in the original document then the wid...
